Failed to load Itemfilter

Every time I try to load an ItemFilter, I get the error message shown in the attached screenshot.
I have already uninstalled Path of Exile and reinstalled it, but the same error occurs every time.
Is there any way to fix this?

What is the file path of your configuration file?

After searching for a while, I found it:
E:\My Games\Path of Exile


Every time I try to use an item filter, a new folder is created with an unpronounceable name.

Is there anyone else with the same problem, a solution, or anything else that could help me? PoE without a loot filter is kind of scary.

I've already tried the OneDrive solution, but without success :/
I don't think that's the correct directory.

You shouldn't need to manually look for anything. Like the page I linked you to says, copy & paste this into File Explorer's address bar: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile

It will immediately open the correct folder for you.

The last time I played PoE, I still had OneDrive installed and the Documents folder was on a different hard drive.
This link
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3364115/page/2 describes a similar problem, so I wanted to check the file path and found that the Documents folder wasn't stored at all. I recreated it and saved it as c:\Users\(user name)\Documents.
However, that didn't help. Even uninstalling PoE again, deleting all folders, and then completely reinstalling it always leads to the same problem. It doesn't matter whether I use Steam or the PoE launcher.

Manually moving the folder also did not yield any positive results.

Thank you very much for your help and sorry for my English :)

this might be dumb, but if your using filterblade.xyz are you on the poe1 site or poe2?

PoE 1 (that's one of my filters -> https://www.filterblade.xyz/?profile=fluxly_nyx%233350&saveState=KP8CEZYCY2B397&isPreset=false&game=Poe1 ) and this is Pohx Filter I'm using https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/BOX8YBTx

I was able to solve the problem :)
I can't say exactly which of my last steps ultimately led to success,
but the file path C:\Users\-User-\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\OnlineFilters is now recognized and the filters are loading.

What I did:
1. As already mentioned, I corrected the path of the “Documents” and “Personal” folders in the registry, following this thread -> https://de.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3609880
2. Then I uninstalled PoE 1
(Steam and GGG Launcher) and deleted ALL!!! folders related to PoE 1.
3. Then I removed all filters that I had stored in my Poe1 profile.
4. Restarted the PC
5. Reinstalled PoE 1 via Steam
6. Started PoE 1 and checked the file path for "production_Config.ini"
7. The file is located in C:\Users\-User-\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile
8. I closed PoE 1 and added item filters to my PoE profile
9. I started PoE 1 -> checked the file path for the item filters in the game -> everything was perfect
10. I selected and loaded the appropriate filters
